I did check it out & it sounded great but it's not the typical stuff I record. I also listened to the WSP show from NYC with the Schoeps. I was at the show & while I didn't tape it the recording sounds better than what it actually sounded like. The Femto sounds good, I'm just surprised by its sound, while not exactly neutral it doesn't seem to lend much coloration into the signal chain. It's an odd duck for sure!

I'll be running this for a set at Ratdog to compare against my Aerco. Any idea what thebattery meter voltage is when it runs out of juice? My newish 9 volts are registering17.8.

The longest I've run it so far was with Duracell 9v for 4hrs and it was reading somewhere around 15v. You can expect to get 6+hrs with a set of new alkaline batteries so no worries. I think it needs a minimum of 12v.Regards,Jim

I ran the Femto for the first set of Ratdog last night & the Aerco for the second set. Both sound excellent with Aerco being a little fatter in the bottom end. I have to equalize volume on both sets & then I will post them up accordingly. I have another night of Ratdog tomorrow night in a different venue where I will be doing the same thing. Overall though the Femto is a sweet little unit, I really like the sound with the AKG's.

Does anyone have any experience with the uPRE? With the attenuation possible it could be useful for me. Apart from Femto's nice metering, are there any sonic differences that would suggest Femto is better than uPRE?

The uPRE is out of production and it's replacement - the uPRE-MKII - won't be available til the end of the month at the earliest. From some email correspondence: "final assembly of the initial batch should start this week* and if all goes well first units should ship at the end of the month. Price will be announced once the product is ready for shipping."

Appologies...looks like my xlr>mini cable is what's causing the issue. I tried to use it with other gear and same problem. I successfully used a pair of xlr>rca with mini adapter and signal was fine. Sorry for the bad info.Regards,Jim

where you using the included cable and then a xlr > mini or did ted make a 5 pin xlr > mini?
